26: Safeguarding of Minerals Development and Waste Management Infrastructure
The following sites are safeguarded for minerals and waste development:
- mineral extraction sites with extant permission; and
- site specific allocations for mineral extraction; and
- other forms of minerals development and associated infrastructure; and
- waste management sites with extant permission and associated infrastructure.
Proposals for other forms of development within a site safeguarded for minerals or waste development will be permitted where it can be demonstrated that:
- (for mineral extraction) the site is no longer required to support the delivery of the adopted provision rate and/or to maintain landbanks (with reference to the prevailing Local Aggregates Assessment); or
- an alternative site could be provided that would be as appropriate for the use as the safeguarded location without significant interruption to operations and (for waste management) can service the existing catchment area; or
- there is no longer a need for the facility in either the vicinity or the wider area as appropriate.
